The field experiment was carried out on sandy loam soil at of Main Forage Research Station, Anand Agricultural University, Anand, Gujarat, during kharif season of 2010 to study the “Production potential of forage maize (Zea mays L.) - cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.). Twelve treatments comprising T1: Maize sole, T2: Cowpea sole, eight row ratios of maize + cowpea intercropping viz. T3: Maize + Cowpea (1:1), T4: Maize + Cowpea (1:2), T5: Maize + Cowpea (2:1), T6: Maize + Cowpea (2:2), T7: Maize + Cowpea (3:1), T8: Maize + Cowpea (3:3), T9: Maize + Cowpea (2:4), T10: Maize + Cowpea (4:2) and two treatments comprising seed mixture of maize and cowpea viz. T11: 50 % Maize and 50 % Cowpea seed of recommended dose mixed and sown in same row and T12: 75 % Maize and 25 % Cowpea seed of recommended dose mixed and sown in same row intercropping system as influenced by row ratios”. Plant height at the time of harvest in both crops, green forage yield, dry matter yields, maize equivalent yield, crude protein content of maize and the highest net realization with benefit cost ratio were recorded higher under treatment T5: Maize + Cowpea (2:1). Available N in the soil after harvest of the crop was found the highest with treatment T2: Cowpea sole.

Student, Dept. of Home Science, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India Kesar Chayal  Assistant Professor, Dept. of Home Science, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India The present study was an attempt to investigate the preference of information sources by agriculture farmers. Study was conducted in Jaipur district of Rajasthan. 75 respondents were selected through random sampling method for the study and personal interview technique was used for data collection. Data related to information source used by the farmers revealed that mobile phone was the most preferred source by the farmers (70.66%). Farming helping apps (56%), television (53.33%), internet (52%) and local leader /neighbors (41.33%) always used by the farmers for accessing agriculture information. Study further revealed th...
